Did you ever read those posters that are so prophetic, op· t imistic, and sugary sweet that they make you nauseous? Or how about those greeting cards with a ' silhouette of a couple on the beach and some mushy romantic frippery written inside? I don' t know about you, but they both annoy me. Does this mean I' m unromantic? No, I don' t think so. I hope it means that I' m a little more sincere in expressing my feelings. Come on now, how many of you have honestly received one,of these so-ca lled cards only to be dumped by the sender weeks later? Perhaps you're wondering why I ' m carrying on so. I suppose it's because I want to impress upon you that what I write I sin­ cerely mean. It's my last editorial for the Whirlwind and I wantd the chance to say goodbye to everyone. I 've been very active at Cobleskill and I have met many new friends. Among them teachers, faculty and students. All of you have been marvelous and I will miss you . Besides being on the Whirlwindstaff I am also on the R,A. staff of Vroman Hall. They were right ... it is the " toughest job I'll ever love." But it is also the best staff I'll ever get the c hance to work with again. As for my teachers, please know that I will carry your wisdom with me forever. I will also carry the fond memories of the excited and zealous Mr. Joyce, the difficult Mr. Garrett and the unending urge to hug Mr. Nunes to death. Best wishes to everyone

In regards to my May editorial I feel lowe an apology to the A lumni Office. I would never have encountered the " green monster who ate all the pictures" if I had realized the Alumni Office wasn't in the Alumni Building. My mistake!
